May 21st isn't mid May. Sounds like they might be about to reveal a PS4 game...

 

[pswii60]

This was in the Lucid/PGR speculation thread yesterday.

May 21st isn't mid May. Sounds like they might be about to reveal a PS4 game...

Well, their logo was on the PS4 developer slide. But then, everyone's logo was on that slide I think.

 

[keit4]

PGR5 confirmed?

 

[whitehawk]

Please let it happen.

 

[Nirolak]

May 21st isn't mid May. Sounds like they might be about to reveal a PS4 game...

What date range would you define as mid-May?

 

[Hypereides]

Aren't these guys working on a PS4 game? Could be multiplat, or something else. correct me if Im wrong.

 

[salromano]

I see this GIF so often I feel like Ron Paul gets excited for everything.

 

[hillsighed]

Lol @ most of the replies mentioning Blur.

That game was so fucking good.

 

[keit4]

No, they are working on a PSVita game already announced.

 

[bidguy]

May 21st isn't mid May. Sounds like they might be about to reveal a PS4 game...

they could reveal it and say "gameplay reveal at xbox event" or something like that. and im pretty sure may 21 still qualifies as mid may ...

 

[R3TRO]

Hope it's PGR5.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Geo Wars Evolved 3 rite

 

[funkystudent]

Are you guys sure they are making PGR?

I think its confirmed they are making a racer but I have a feeling it isnt PGR

 

[Nirolak]

I think this is most likely PGR5, but for the sake of discussion, the only other racing title I can think of that's yet to be announced and doesn't necessarily have a known development team would be Need For Speed.

 

[Acidote]

What date range would you define as mid-May?

Between May 10th and May 20th. Sorry, 21st is absolutely out of that range.

 

[kassatsu]

Release date for that Jacob Jones and Bigfoot Vita/iOS game?

 

[MCD]

Forza: PGR Edition.

 

[TangerineCloud]

Geo Wars Evolved 3 rite

*sigh* That would be so hype.

They're working on a few projects it seems

“We got invited to go into Lucid and Apposing’s office through twitter and they showed us their offices and what they do daily. They make Games/apps for companies like they made the app for CSL sofas!
Both offices were REALLY full of computers and IPhones / IPads/IPods and it was a great influence.
I’m only 9 years old, and it was a great experience at such a young age, and I’m starting to think that I want to do the same when I’m older!
When we went to Lucid they were in progress of making a game, but its top secret so I can’t tell you the name, and they showed us a little preview of it. They also made a mountain bike game and working on a racing car game.

 

[Squire]

What date range would you define as mid-May?

Also: Does it matter? They can announce it without specifics and just show up at the Durango reveal. CoD is doing it.

 

[saladine1]

Ghost Games are doing Need For Speed.

 

[enzo_gt]

It has to be PGR5. Stars align too well for it to not be.

Co-production with Playground and Rare, unless they really are bigger than LinkedIn leads us to believe.

 

[Nirolak]

Ghost Games are doing Need For Speed.

That I know, but I'm wondering if they'll be ready in time for a Fall 2013 release.

EA Gothenburg/Ghost hasn't been around super long.

 

[Aquamarine]

This is all but confirmation that we will get an announcement at Microsoft's May 21st conference.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

What date range would you define as mid-May?

Hmm, May 10th to May 20th.

I fully expect a Xbox event reveal. I was really only poking fun at the wording more than anything else.

 

[oVerde]

That game was so fucking good.

Blur! Oh how I love that game, many hours of this gen gaming. 4 player arena local multiplayer with custom 1 hit kill guided shots. I could write a Haiku about it.

 

[Acidote]

And Ghost Games is not big enough to develop a NFS game on their own unless they recently hired a lot of people.

 

[salromano]

Are you guys sure they are making PGR?

Yup, they started teasing it back in January:

Edit: Should mention all the file names for the racer-related images have the word "Skylight" in them. The images for their other games have the game's title in the file name.

 

[ComputerMKII]

I love PGR but I hope their next game isn't just a HD PGR. Keep on innovating!

 

[Instro]

While I'm 99% sure its for the nextbox announcement the timing is interesting. Last year there was a rather notable rumor that Lucid was making a racing game for Nintendo, who conveniently also has announcements coming this month. Presumably it was fake, but a neat thought regardless.

They're about 70 people now, but didn't start that way.

My main suspicion is that Ghost is making it with Criterion helping out, but I just wanted to put out the possibility.

Spiritual successor to PGR on a Nintendo console? Imagine the anger, meltdowns and general bitterness that would result from such an announcement.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Fuck Project Gotham Racing, this should be Blur 2.

Spoiler

PGR's fine

I don't know what game this is, but I'd love to see it released...

What if...

 

[Visualante2]

The world doesn't deserve a second Blur game. But I wouldn't say no to a spiritual successor.

 

[DC R1D3R]

awww yisss, Lucid Games up in this biotch!!

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

I don't know what game this is, but I'd love to see it released...

Damn, that looks pretty great. Split/Second 2 maybe?

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

What's this of? It can't be from a next gen game, the unblurred road/kerb stone look like pure garbage. Must be their Windows Phone 8 racing game they're developing.

 

[Afrikan]

its going to be a competitive match up.

Bizarre Creations were always heavy hitters when it came to graphics and pushing a system, as is Evolution Studios with Sony.

can't wait to see what Lucid Games have cooked up for next Gen along side Drive Club.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I wish it were true but I think it's a cancelled project from the now closed Studio Liverpool, but I might be mistaken.

 

[Afrikan]

no I think it was from Bizarre Creations canceled game.

 

[Alec]

Geometry Wars 3! Please and thank you.

 

[Mushroomer25]

You're all madmen. This will clearly be a sequel to The Club.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

no I think it was from Bizarre Creations canceled game.

Oh really? Well then. Damn you Activision. Damn you straight to hell.

You're all madmen. This will clearly be a sequel to The Club.

That's a low blow. What I wouldn't give for a more fleshed out sequel.

This post just reminds me how fucking good the UK racing devs are. If you include the now dead Studio Liverpool (who were one of the finest ever) I'd dare say the UK has produced the best racing game devs ever.

 

[iceatcs]

It is very likely something small racing project. Remember AAA project need about 2 years to develop from a new flesh studio. They are only ~5 months old.

man you are playing with fire.....to have Forza fanboys (USA) and GT Fanboys (Japan) both after you????? D:

Spoiler

you make a good case....I love and REALLY appreciate what UK's racing devs have brought me through out my gaming life.

edit-

man, so many great racing experiences from the UK!

 

[evolution]

I dont think its pgr5. Why would Microsoft cut the studio and then rehire them to make another one.
